The Golden Age of American poster design was brief but brilliant, calling on the talents of the best-known artists of the day. The heyday of the poster was the last decade of the 19th century, when the poster came into its own as the perfect advertising medium, touting plays, periodicals, patent medicines, and a vast array of newfangled manufactured goods from bicycles to dynamite. The American poster artists and their work are brought together in this lavishly illustrated volume. Some of the pioneers of American graphic design who contributed to the American poster renaissance are Bradley, Penfield, Parrish, Leyendecker, Gibson, Sloan, Bird, Bragdon, Carqueville, Gould, Hazenplug, Mayer, Nankivell, Reed, Rhead, and Woodbury, to name just a few. During the 1890s posters proliferated in book-sellers' stalls, in theaters, and on walls from one end of the country to the other. The quality of poster design was at its peak, incorporating all the newest and most exiting new directions in art. Equally important, public appreciation of poster art developed so quickly it launched a poster-collecting spree amounting to a mania. This book offers a vivid look at this short-lived phenomenon.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Nederlandse vertaling De Amerikaanse Poster Renaissance Door Victor Margolin De Gouden Eeuw van het Amerikaanse posterontwerp was kort maar briljant, en riep het beste talent van de kunstenaars van die tijd op. De hoogtijdagen van de poster waren in het laatste decennium van de 19e eeuw, toen de poster zich ontwikkelde tot het perfecte reclamemedium, dat reclame maakte voor toneelstukken, tijdschriften, patentgeneesmiddelen en een breed scala aan nieuwe fabrieksgoederen, van fietsen tot dynamiet. Hier, voor het eerst, worden de Amerikaanse posterkunstenaars en hun werk samen gebracht in één rijk geïllustreerd volume. Enkele van de pioniers van het Amerikaanse grafische ontwerp die bijdroegen aan de Amerikaanse posterrenaissance zijn Bradley, Penfield, Parrish, Leyendecker, Gibson, Sloan, Bird, Bragdon, Carqueville, Gould, Hazenplug, Mayer, Nankivell, Reed, Rhead en Woodbury, om er maar een paar te noemen. Hun stijl liep parallel aan de nieuwe richtingen in de kunst die de Europese kunstwereld al revolutioneerden: scherpe contrasten en vlakke patronen, grote, vetgedrukte kleurvlakken, sterke, sinueuze lijnen. Voor inspiratie keken ze naar hun Europese tegenhangers Chéret, Mucha, Toulouse-Lautrec en Beardsley, en naar de esthetische idealen die werden uiteengezet door de Engelse Arts and Crafts Movement, aangekondigd door William Morris en zijn Kelmscott Press. In de jaren 1890 verspreidden posters zich in boekhandels, theaters en op reclameborden en muren van het ene eind van het land naar het andere. De kwaliteit van het posterontwerp was op zijn hoogtepunt, waarbij alle nieuwste en meest opwindende nieuwe richtingen in de kunst werden opgenomen. Even belangrijk was dat de publieke waardering voor posterkunst zich zowel in Europa als in Amerika zo snel ontwikkelde dat het een ware posterverzamelwoede veroorzaakte. Gelukkig voor de kunstliefhebbers en posterverzamelaars van vandaag is de poster herontdekt als kunstvorm: de klassiekers van het posterontwerp uit de jaren 1890 worden nu opnieuw gedrukt samen met moderne posters. De Amerikaanse Poster Renaissance biedt een levendige blik op dit kortstondige maar vitale fenomeen, en op de veranderingen in kunst - en in levensstijl - die het zo perfect weerspiegelde. 224 pagina's. 9 x 12. 175 zwart-wit illustraties. 48 full color platen.
